John and I are thrilled to announce album number 3 is ready to go. The songs are written, recorded, mixed and mastered. The CDs and books are in production. The date is set. September 25th.
This one's a little different than our previous endeavors. It's not a concept album, for one, but it is very much a faith-based album, with a handful of more secular tunes mixed in. Here's a wee sampler of three of the tunes (Children of God, Flames of Notre Dame, and Oppenheimer's Tragedy)

Are you going to do pre-orders, or wait until you have them ready to go?

Thanks guys. Thanks for the interest, Staybrite. John's working on the pre-order set-up now. When he gets it all sorted out, pre-orders will be via the ES website. I'll let you know when orders are up and running. We're doing things a little differently this time out. All CD orders will be through our website. Doing it that way allowed us to include a book with the CD in a way that kept it affordable for folks. J

We're using Kunaki for CDs. They're not doing our printing though. We found a more affordable option in a company called Blurb. Keeping things separate like that also means that folks who buy digital can order the album booklet separately if they choose to.

So you're ordering the CD's and jewel cases from Kunaki, having the booklets printed at Blurb, then you're putting them together and shipping them out yourselves?

Yup, that's the way of it. It's extra work for John in doing the admin for it, but we did the math and it's several dollars cheaper for folks wanting physical product so we think it's worth it.

I still need to check you guys out other than just the clips you post. I will listen to samples of everything when the album hits.

We're all set for pre-orders. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to set up pre-orders for digital downloads (our distributor won't allow it), but, you can now place orders for the CD, the Booklet, and the CD/Book bundle from our website -- www.evansandstokes.com. Pre-orders will be the first to be shipped. Thanks for asking the question, Staybrite. We hadn't thought about it until you asked. Appreciate the nudge. : )

Very cool! Now I'm going to have to check out your earlier albums, too. Are they available or out of print?
Great font choice, BTW.
